Time For Disposal-Version 1 Part 3

Meanwhile, Zoe is still driving around Diaper City, collecting diapers, “babies”/Subjects

On her fourth day of work this week.

The next stop is in a neighborhood full of houses that are on Zoe’s route. The first house is an elderly couple who is disposing of their grand son who has on a rather thick Tranquility All-Through-The-Night diaper on that is slightly too large for him. The diaper is packed with 9 Dignity Naturals booster pads and 10 toddler sized cloth diapers that were sticking out a quarter of the way in front and back. The boy’s diaper was VERY, VERY bulky and puffy in front and in back. The grand father was calling the boy out to the curb trying to get the grandmother to hurry up and escort him over to the truck with the boy’s large over-stuffed diaper bag that couldn’t close.

They had also put out a TON of loose, wet only Tranquility brand Slimline disposable diapers and All-Through-The-Night diapers that still had a bunch of toddler pre-fold diapers in them as well as 8 Dignity Naturals Booster pads in them. The diapers were all put into the four 95 gallon totes all grouped together at the curb near a tree.

On the right or street left of the last two totes, were four 32 gallon trash cans full of nothing but loose, clean and formerly wet cloth pre-fold diapers, the boy’s onesies, baby blue footed sleepers, and 200 white and 100 blue t-shirts that had been leaked on.

There was also a large pile of unused packages of tranquility ATN and Tranquility Slimline diapers and bags of unopened Dignity Booster pads all piled up next to the last of the 32 gallon trash cans. Sitting on top of the packs of tranquility diapers and booster pads, were the boy’s large king sized comforter and sheets as well as a couple of his other comforters, and pillows too. Then, there were four tall round, laundry baskets full of freshly cleaned toddler cloth pre-fold diapers and diaper wraps sitting near the back of the pile of disposable diaper packs and booster pads and comforters, blankets and pillows.

Sitting on top of the four laundry baskets were two mostly full square laundry baskets, stacked on top of each other, full of more toddler sized and medium sized, freshly cleaned adult pre-fold cloth diapers that fit the boy.

The grand mother led the boy over to the curb and held his hand until Zoe was able to take the boy from her.

See Part 4

The next stop is right next door. A tall dark haired Mother came outside from the front door, and was holding her 13 year old boy’s hand. He was still dressed in the navy blue cargo shorts and white and blue sailor’s top. The mother stood near the 4 Totes that were by the curb that were full of the boy’s thick, bulky Abena Abri-form x-Plus disposable diapers in medium that were only wet and they had six dignity extra duty booster pads in them along with six or eight toddler sized pre-fold cloth diapers inside that had been wet but now were dry. The 4- 32 gallon trash cans had the boy’s medium adult sized cloth pre-fold diapers that had just been freshly cleaned and folded the night before they had been disposed of. The mother also had the boy’s cheap stroller put out by the curb too. The stroller had a large round laundry basket full of the boy’s onesies, cloth training pants, Toddler Sized pre-fold cloth diapers that weren’t folded….and were loose,

Sitting on top of the seat area in the stroller. There was also a pile of the boy’s three comforters that were made out of Toddler sized cloth diapers all sewn together at each end. The Pre-fold Comforter had some wet stains in it…the comforter was made to fit a single bed but was used in the boy’s “safety bed”. The diaper comforter was tossed on top of the four 32 gallon trash cans and was draped over the cans. A cardboard box full of the boy’s plush stuffed animals and loose, adult medium cloth pre-fold diapers and loose toddler sized pre-fold cloth diapers were also in the box. The box was to the street left of the 32 gallon trash cans along with the stroller that had the round laundry basket full of pre-fold cloth diapers in it. There were four large, cheap trash bags full of loose, wet Abena Abri-form X-Plus disposable diapers that still had the 8 toddler cloth diapers in each of the wet diapers. There were a few of the bags that had more loose, still slightly wet, toddler sized cloth diapers in them than the disposables.

The boy’s Mother was just stepping out with the boy as Zoe pulls up to the first of the totes. The boy’s mother also had the boy’s diaper bag on her shoulder that had 8 toddler sized clean, folded pre-fold cloth diapers in it and two clean, folded, Abena Abri-form X-Plus disposable diapers in it too.

The Next stop is a rich guy’s Mansion next door. He is disposing of 6 Totes full of clean, cloth diapers that have printed silk on the outside of them and pretty frosted colored plastic and rubber pants. The last of the six totes has nothing but loose, disposable Pampers Size Seven diapers in it. Some that are wet and some that are still clean and still folded.

The six 32 gallon trash cans have loose, pre-fold Toddler sized diapers in them. Some that are still slightly wet from being rinsed in a toilet and some that are freshly cleaned and folded. Behind the 32 gallon trash cans, are a pile of loose cloth adult medium pre-fold cloth diapers that are clean but unfolded. On top of the diapers, are ten onesies in white and baby blue and ten pairs of clear plastic pants. Spread out and draped over the 32 gallon trash cans, is yet another king sized comforter made out of old cloth diapers.

To the street left of the 32 gallon trash cans is a pile of six cheap slightly ripped bags full of loose, wet Pampers Size 9 Diapers with Cars 2 prints on them.

Zoe gets out and begins dumping the totes. The clean cloth diapers quickly become soaked as they hit the hopper. Zoe hooks up the 6th tote and dumps it in.

So many unused diapers Zoe notices. The Pampers spill into the hopper. Zoe begins to empty the cans. She tosses in the comforter.

The Cleaning staff comes walking down the circular driveway with a short baby girl and a short baby boy wearing thick ALL-In-ONE cloth diapers with printed silk designs on the fronts of them.

Zoe finishes emptying the cans as they bring the babies. The cleaning lady wearing a vintage maid's outfit is also carrying a large hamper full of freshly washed all-in-one diapers with the printed silk designs on the fronts.....

The cleaning lady walks over to the back of the trash truck with the boy and girl

“Hi there, these two were ordered to be disposed of a few minutes ago by their father and mother. I was instructed to diaper them and get them out here right away.” Explains the cleaning lady.

“Hi..” Zoe says picking up the first bag of diapers and tossing it in the truck.

“Who’s wet diapers are these” Zoe says to the 2 babies as she puts the 2nd bag in.

“Could be one of the other subjects in the house. The other two boys that are in the house right now, wear only disposable diapers while these two wear all in one cloth diapers.” Says the cleaning lady. Zoe tosses in the 3rd and 4th bag. Zoe grabs the final 2 and put them in the truck.

“Ah! Well, time to load these two.” “Guess you can ride to the dump with your brother’s dirty diapers!” Zoe says taking the girl from the maid and putting her in the hopper.

“The diapers could also be ours too.” Says the girl

The girl settles into the piles of dirty diapers, bags and other diapers that are in the hopper. She puts a bunch of the diapers into her lap. She lies against the lip of the hopper.

Zoe takes the boy and puts him in. “Those are all disposables.” Zoe tells her. “You wear cloth….I know.

“I always wanted to wear disposables...but...my mom and dad said that I wasn't allowed to...since they liked being able to just stick me into a toilet or into the sink to rinse me and my diapers out. Sometimes, my diaper wasn't changed...it was just rinsed out.” Said the girl. “Would you like to go to the dump in a disposable?” Zoe asks her. “Sure......I'd LOVE to wear a disposable!” Says the girl...looking excitedly at Zoe

“Ok, lay down there are some disposables in the hopper, I will put you in one. How about you little boy” Zoe asks.

“I belong to you now miss...I have NO choice what I wear to be disposed of in......you can do what you want to me and with me...that is what I was told.” Said the boy to Zoe. “If you want me in a disposable diaper....then that is what I wear” Added the boy. “Ok lay down then.” Zoe tells him.  Zoe takes the cloth diaper off the girl and puts one of the size 7 Pampers with Elmo on her. Zoe then takes the cloth diaper off the boy and puts a Pampers with Elmo on him.  “There you two are, diaper twins now.” Zoe says. The girl lets loose a flood of pee and soaks her diaper.

“Miss, I also understand that you can also sell us to who ever you want too.”

Added the boy. “We are YOUR property until you release us to the Diaper City Dump or to whomever.” Said the boy. “That is right! You are mine until I drop you off at the dump.” Said Zoe. “Thank you miss....that feels GREAT! These are SO, nice and soft....and THICK too! These diapers sure are thin between my legs compared to the cloth diapers.” Said the boy to Zoe. “Well, fill them up then they will be thick.” Suggested Zoe. “Yea...Thanks miss” Adds the girl. “We weren't given any bottles last night or this morning either. We haven't even eaten anything since Thursday. Today is Friday right?” Asks the girl. “Yes, it is.” Says Zoe. “Sorry I don’t have a bottle for you. Guess it is time to pack you in.” Stated Zoe. “Ok, Hey bother.....go sit over there on your tummy near the wall thing. Let that thing come down and make sure that your legs are sticking out.......I heard that it feels better that way.” Says the girl giving some instructs to her brother.

The boy does as his sister instructs. The girl just leans back against the edge of the hopper

Zoe releases the blade, dropping the crushed load. They are covered by the diapers and the blade comes down to get them. The blade sweeps them up with the boy’s legs poking out. The girl watches intently and then leans forward to avoid the blade coming down onto her head. Her diaper slides against the metal surface of the hopper's floor. As she is forced into the diapers and other trash in the truck. Her chest is pressed into the liner of a few of the wet disposable diapers. Her face is pressed into some cloth diapers. The boy is pressed head first into the diapers in the back of the truck. The maid hands Zoe the hamper full of their All-in-one diapers as she watched the two get compacted. Zoe tosses the hamper into the truck. It rests against the blade as it crushes the two. As the blade comes to rest, Zoe gets back in the tuck and moves on.

The next stop is a diapered disabled orphanage. The Orphanage is called Diaper City Orphanage. Ages range from (Mentally & Emotionally) 1 years old to 17 years old. The Orphanage had taken 28 of their orphans out on a field trip. Ten of the orphans were now earmarked for disposal once they returned to the orphanage. Two girls, one (mentally and emotionally) aged 3 years old, still in diapers, and can’t talk or walk. The second girl, is (mentally) 4 years old and still wears diapers and can barely walk. Her legs can’t hold her up. The 8 boys all range in (mental and emotional ages) between 2 years old to 8 years old. All of the boys can’t walk, or talk much. They have to be carried around in strollers or wheelchairs and wear diapers 24/7. They can’t feed themselves or bathe themselves either. The orphanage has lent all of these “Orphans” out to various companies for various purposes.

The Orphanage has 10-95 gallon totes, 8-32 gallon aluminum trash cans, used for cloth diapers and cloth items only, as well as two large 100 gallon sized specially made trash cans that are a little wider to accommodate one Orphan and all of their diapers. These cans have large wheels and large handles too. Since they only have two of these special cans, the trash collectors will have to dump them first, before any more Orphans can be put into the two special white colored 100 gallon barrels/cans. Each orphan can either be hand loaded or loaded one at a time into the special container.

Totes 1-5 have loose, unrolled, un-bagged open, unsealed, Attends with waistband, Tranquility Select medium diapers, Tranquility ATN, and Tranquility Slimline large and medium diapers that have six Dignity Naturals Booster pads in each one and each of the diapers are wet, but not poopy. Totes 6-10 have a mix of Pampers size 7, Huggies Little Movers Size six Jeans Prints that are wet and have been modified to fit a larger person, Attends with waistband YOUTH sized diapers with 8 booster pads in each one, some of the diapers were worn but NOT wet or pooped in. The 8 32 gallon aluminum trash cans, all have nothing but loose, toddler sized, adult medium, 4 dozen youth sized pre-fold cloth diapers in them as well as the last two cans have nothing but onesies and diaper wraps in them. Some of the pre-folds are clean and most of them were wet but have since dried and are stiff. The pre-folds are loose and unfolded in the cans.

As Zoe pulls up to the curb, six staff members are walking along a single file line of varying aged “Orphans” wearing their Disposal Clothing. Each was wearing a different colored onesie that had “Property of Diaper City Diaper Landfill” printed across the front and back of each onesie.

At the back of the line, were four “Orphans” that could not walk or talk…..but were strapped into cheap Wal-Mart styled strollers with no prints on them. The boys were strapped into baby blue and regular blue strollers while the two girls were strapped into either pink or yellow strollers. Each had their two diaper bags draped around the two handles and two packs of unused but opened packages of disposable diapers, diaper doublers and six folded cloth pre-fold diapers with diaper wraps to go with them, underneath in the carrier basket below the seat.  Two of the staff members, all females, were carrying an Orphan that couldn’t walk or was drugged and put to sleep to keep them from running away. The staff doesn’t know about the new rule that each “baby” or “subject” for disposal, MUST be only dressed in their diapers or the trash lady won’t except the subjects until they ARE wearing nothing but their diapers.

Zoe sees the single file line of four babies wearing onesies and white soccer shorts and flip-flops walking towards the truck with the six staff members walking beside them.

Zoe gets out and grabs the first tote, taking it to the truck. “Hey the babies need to have their onesies taken off.”  Zoe tells the workers as she dumps the tote. “Oh...Ok.” Says one of the head disposal staff members. “OK boys and girls.....the trash lady said that you all need to have your onesies taken off before you can be disposed of” Announced the lead disposal lady. Zoe empties the first 5 totes while they prep the babies.

“You girls.....You two girls will be the first to get your onesies taken off and then escorted to the truck.” Explained the Lady. “Come stand over here next to the truck by the curb you two!!!” Demanded the lady in a strict tone. The lady takes the buttons loose and then begins to take the onesie off of the first girl. Then she does the same with the second girl. “Ok you two….GET...TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.....NOW!!!!!” Shouts the lady still holding the two girl's Onesies. With the two girls ready I pick the first one now just wearing a jeans diaper up and put her in the truck.  “Eew!!! you are a stinky baby” Zoe says smelling her as she puts her in the truck. “I now need the next two boys.....The next two in line please...bring them here.” Demands the lady in a meaner voice.

The lady then takes out a pair of scissors and begins to cut the onesies off of the two boys. She then takes what is left of the onesies and drapes them over her right arm with the other two. Zoe picks up the 2nd girl in a pampers size 7 and puts her in the truck.

Zoe dumps the remaining 5 totes while the boys are getting ready.

“Ok boys...time for you to be disposed of......Take them over to the back of the truck!”

Demanded the head disposal lady. “NEXT two..” She said. Zoe tosses in the 2 boys noticing they both have stinky pants. Going to be a smelly load Zoe thinks, tossing the boys in. She quickly removes the onesies without using the scissors.

“The next two please....bring them to me...wheel them over here...I will cut their onesies right up the seem so you don’t have to unbuckle them from their strollers.” Says the lady.

She starts to cut the onesies off and then points the other ladies towards the back of the truck. “OK last two...I'm going to cut your onesies off now....do you have any diapering requests before you get disposed of? asked the lady. GOOD! I wasn't going to give you any!” She said cutting the last two's onesies off. The lead lady points the last two ladies to take the two in strollers over to the back of the truck.

Zoe tosses the next 2 boys in the truck and begin emptying the cans.

With the cans empty, Zoe tosses in the strollers as they are brought to the truck.

The lead lady then hands one of the ladies walking back away from the truck the onesies..."Take these and dispose of them.....then before the babies get compacted, make sure that their diapers are comfy...if they aren't, make sure that they are! Instructed the lead lady going back inside.

The lady now holding the onesies, went back to the hopper to toss in the onesies and to give one final comfort check to the diapers of the babies that were still there.

Two of the baby boys have thick toddler sized cloth diapers stuffed into their disposable diapers and one of the boy's cloth diapers has snagged in a burr in the hopper.

The lady rips the cloth diaper right down the seem that goes down the soaker pad in the front. “Now babies.....you now belong to the trash lady....I am NOT allowed to change you or take any of your diapers off.....it will be up to the trash lady here...if she wants to do anything with your diapers. Bye now....Said the lady walking off.

Then all of the ladies returned back inside

“Miss...oh Miss?” Said one of the boys in the hopper.  “Yes”  Responded Zoe.

“What are you going to do with us?” Asked one of the boys that had never been disposed of before. what is going to happen to us?” Asked one of the boys.

“I am going to pack you in the truck and take you to the dump!” Said Zoe.

“Will my diaper be ok after that? will anything happen to our diapers?  When do you take us to the dump?” Asked the boy.

“They may get pinched or torn. I know some of you had poopy diapers, you will get it squished when you are packed at the dump. They will sort you and some of you may get new diapers.” Explained Zoe to the boys as she stood near the hopper looking at the boys and their diapers. “We were told that we all belong to you now......does that mean that you can do what ever you want to us and with us?” Asked one of the girls.

“Yes, it does.” Said Zoe. “Then miss....why can't you change us?” Asked one of the boys.

“Do you sell us to the dump?” Asked one of the other girls

“I have a lot of stops to do. I cant change every baby that is disposed of, besides I like to crush naughty girls with stinky pants!”

“That sounds MEAN!” Said one of the boys. “How much do you get for us at the dump asked one of the boys. How much are we worth?” Added the boy.

I think it is $50 each. The price fluctuates.” Said Zoe “Why?” Asked the boy fiddling with his now wet diaper, adjusting himself.

“Someone has to dispose of unwanted babies. So they pay me to do it. Explained Zoe

“OH! I see. Hey miss, my diaper is not comfy any more......how long until we get to the dump? Where ever it is….Asked the boy. “Not too much longer.” Zoe tells him, standing over by the compactor switches. “Ok.....” Said the boy. He then slinks over to an area near the packer....on the driver's side of the truck. He sits down and then lays down onto his back.

Zoe runs the packer to clear and crush the overfilled hopper.  It is so full, the diapers from the previous load hardly fall down. The blade covers the group and smashes them down. As it pushes them in, I hear a few icks and eewws from one of the girls and a boy with a poopy diaper as they are squished. “The meanie!!!!” Zoe hears the girl grumble.

Zoe heads off to the next stop.

**The next stop is the second to last stop, before the Diaper City Landfill.

This place is a special clinic that treats or disposes of their patients, based on the cost or severity of the problem. Today, they are disposing of six totes worth of nothing but disposable diapers, underpads, disposable paper clothing, paper onesies, and 8-32 gallon sized aluminum cans worth of toddler sized and youth sized pre-fold cloth diapers and plastic pants.  There are two “babies” in the last two totes, but are completely stuffed between loose disposable diapers, disposable paper onesies, paper footed sleepers, and paper shorts. The first boy in the fifth can is wearing a nice, thick super bulky slightly saggy Cool Diaps Happy Face disposable diaper with six diaper doublers in it, that are still dry. The boy has a paper onesie on over his disposable diaper. He is 2 years old (Emotionally)

The first boy in the fifth can is wearing a nice, thick super bulky slightly saggy Cool Diaps Happy Face disposable diaper with six diaper doublers in it, that are still dry. The boy has a paper onesie on over his disposable diaper. This boy is 8 (Emotionally and mentally) The nurse has the boy’s diaper bag around her right shoulder. The Nurse is waiting for Zoe to stop so that she can have Zoe sign the boy’s over to her and so that Zoe can have the custody of the boys. Technically, the boy’s are temporarily hers to do what she wants to them and with them. The nurse comes over to Zoe at the back of the truck when Zoe gets the first Tote. (Don’t except ANY baby unless they are stripped down to just their diapers. If the nurse won’t do it, then “Zoe has to” before the “baby” can go into the hopper”)

The nurse waits for Zoe to get out of her truck and get the first tote before she approaches.

The baby boy in the sixth can is wearing nothing but 8 thick and layered cloth pre-fold diapers with see-through plastic pants and a cloth onesie on over that. This boy is 3 years old (Mentally and emotionally) a nurse comes out with a baby boy, holding his hand. This boy is 8 (Emotionally and mentally) He is still wearing the clothes he was brought to the clinic in….and the nurse has the boy’s diaper bag around her right shoulder.

Zoe gets out of the truck and grabs the first tote.  Zoe dumps the next 3 totes then grabs to tote with the first boy

Zoe dumps his tote and watches him go into the hopper with his smiley face diaper.

Zoe rips off the paper onesie and dumps the final tote.

“HEY! Miss, why did you do that?!” Asked the boy. “You have to be in a diaper only. Zoe tells him. Zoe goes to the nurse to sign the paper. “The boy needs to be stripped!” Zoe tells the nurse. The nurse signs the custody papers and then goes to the boy to get him stripped down to just his diaper. Zoe dumps the 8 cans while she strips him.

The nurse takes the boy out of the tote, and then begins to take the paper onesie off of him. She then tosses the paper onesie into the trash. She then walks the boy over to the back of the truck. Zoe tosses the boy in and runs the packer. The nurse then hands Zoe the diaper bag from her shoulder.

Zoe tosses the diaper bag in as the blade crushes the load. The nurse stands there and watches the diapers and boys getting compacted. Zoe gets in and drives to the final stop.

The last stop before the Diaper City Landfill is a Diapered baby Care home. This is where a lot of really sick “disabled people go” before the decision to dispose of them, is made. The parents or foster parents or grand parents decide to send their baby there and turn over custody of them to the care home which decides if they should try to heal the “patient” or just throw them away in the trash or diaper pail with the rest of the diapers. 

Here, they have two large 10 yard dumpsters, 8-95 gallon totes and 8-32 gallon aluminum trash cans set up in trash can holders in the alley behind the center. The 8-95 gallon totes all have nothing but wet various kinds and sizes of disposable diapers. Some are even worn but NOT wet or messy, but had been changed any way. The 8-32 gallon aluminum trash cans have all of the cloth diapers, youth, Toddler, small, medium sized pre-fold cloth diapers in them as well as 20 footed sleepers, 40 worn out onesies, 60 pair of white cloth training pants that have yellow stains in the fronts of them but are clean and freshly washed but not folded.

Next to the cans, are ten ripped trash bags that were too heavy to handle the weight of the cloth and disposable diapers that are wet. The cloth pre-folds in the two of the ten bags that are ripped, some are still slightly wet and the rest have dried stiff. The Rest of the bags have only Attends with waistband medium diapers, Tranquility Slimline medium and large disposable diapers with six booster pads in each of the diapers in the bag.

The diapers are NOT rolled up at all. They were just taken off and then put into the bags. The bags are the type that usually are used in Kitchens and hospitals, frosted clear but VERY cheap bags that aren’t even tied up. One of the “Patients” that is being disposed of, has a diaper disposal sack put on over his diaper and then he was taken outside, then tied to the trash can holders in the alley, with a zip tie. His legs were also tied together as well. The boy is 10 years old. (Mentally and emotionally)

The Janitor comes out with a crib mattress and the other janitor comes out with the crib sides and headboards. They are made out of plastic.

The maids come out with two large trash carts full of cloth, disposable diapers, some of which were Vintage Luvs Baby Pants.....and the half empty box they came in, sitting on top. They wheel the carts over to the back of the truck. The director comes out escorting two small baby girls in pig-tails wearing thick, bulky Vintage Luvs baby Pants that were left over from some period that they had bought them and never used them before going into the back of the diaper pantry

Zoe backs up to the first dumpster and get out to hook it up.

Zoe raises the dumpster and dumps it running the packer while it empties.

With the 1st dumpster empty, Zoe moves over to the second. While the dumpster is emptying, Zoe dumps the 8 32 gallon cans. Zoe tosses in the clear bags while the dumpster finishes. Zoe lowers the dumpster and pulls forward. Zoe dumps the 95 gallon totes filling up the hopper. Zoe tosses in the 10 year old  and then tosses in the mattress.

Zoe empties the carts and tosses in the box. As the director walks up with the girls Zoe points to the back of the truck and he escorts them. Zoe pushes both of them in and then dumps some diapers on them. One of the girls starts to ask a question but Zoe begins the packing cycle. The engine roar drowns it out. She is covered by the blade and is drawn into the truck. Zoe gets back in and drives off to the landfill.

The last stop before the Diaper City Landfill is a Diapered baby Care home. This is where a lot of really sick “babies go” before the decision to dispose of them, is made.

The parents or foster parents or grand parents decide to send their baby there and turn over custody of them to the care home which decides if they should try to heal the “patient” or just throw them away in the trash or diaper pail with the rest of the diapers. 

Here, they have two large 10 yard dumpsters, 8-95 gallon totes and 8-32 gallon aluminum trash cans set up in trash can holders in the alley behind the center. The 8-95 gallon totes all have nothing but wet various kinds and sizes of disposable diapers. Some are even worn but NOT wet or messy, but had been changed any way. The 8-32 gallon aluminum trash cans have all of the cloth diapers, youth, Toddler, small, medium sized pre-fold cloth diapers in them as well as 20 footed sleepers, 40 worn out onesies, 60 pair of white cloth training pants that have yellow stains in the fronts of them but are clean and freshly washed but not folded. Next to the cans, are ten ripped trash bags that were too heavy to handle the weight of the cloth and disposable diapers that are wet. The cloth pre-folds in the two of the ten bags that are ripped, some are still slightly wet and the rest have dried stiff. The Rest of the bags have only Attends with waistband medium diapers, Tranquility Slimline medium and large disposable diapers with six booster pads in each of the diapers in the bag. The diapers are NOT rolled up at all. They were just taken off and then put into the bags. The bags are the type that usually are used in Kitchens and hospitals, frosted clear but VERY cheap bags that aren’t even tied up. One of the “Patients” that is being disposed of, has a diaper disposal sack put on over his diaper and then he was taken outside, then tied to the trash can holders in the alley, with a zip tie. His legs were also tied together as well. The boy is 10 years old. (Mentally and emotionally)

Next to the bags, is a playpen that has a 14 year old baby girl wearing 8 layers of pre-fold cloth diapers, with a thick, bulky Tranquility brand large sized disposable diaper with 8 booster pads inside of it as well as a diaper disposal bag on over that. The bag is tied and there are also used wipes that were used during her diaper change just prior to her being taken out to the alley for disposal. Her diaper doesn’t seem wet from the outside but only the first two layers of her cloth diapers are a little bit wet.

As Zoe pulls up to this stop in the alley behind the Diaper City Care home, One of the disposal techs comes out with another boy who is 2 years old  (Mentally and emotionally but has a 19 year old body) wearing a thick Abena Abri-Form X-Plus disposable diaper that also has ten Dignity Booster Pads in the diaper as well as 12 loose Toddler sized Pre-fold cloth diapers layered on top of the booster pads and the diapers stick out and kind of lay down across the front and back of the boy’s thick, bulky disposable diaper that had just been changed.  In the other hand, she has a baby boy that was 6 months old (Mentally and emotionally but had a body of a 29 year old) and had CP Cerebral Palsy. He could barely walk if at all. He couldn’t talk either. His diaper was stuffed with 10 dignity Naturals booster pads and he wasn’t wearing any clothing over the diaper. Neither of the “babies” being disposed of, had any clothing but their diapers on. Each baby was tied to the rails that kept the trash cans in their “holders” This way, none of the babies could get away. The disposal techs came back out with a couple of strollers that had bags full of more cloth diapers that were stained and ripped on the outer surfaces tucked underneath them. They had just got the new cloth diapers in to replace the old ones. Upon sorting through the new cloth pre-fold diapers, there were some that were defect quality and they too were disposed of. They stuck these into the baskets underneath the strollers loosely, instead of using another cheap ripped trash bag to dispose of them in.

As Zoe pulls up to the dumpsters, the last of the Rubbermaid trash cans full of nothing but defect brand new cloth pre-folds were put out behind the 8-32 gallon aluminum trash cans in their holders.

Week two-day one

The first stop is Diaper City Diaper Training Center. This place trains caregivers, parents and also trains employees of the Diaper City landfill as well as Trash haulers how to care for these emotionally, mentally disabled and physically disabled. They use a combination of cloth diapers and disposable diapers and sometimes they use either or. I was taken over to this place to be used like a baby care doll, diaper changing practice subject, how to dress, feed and care for a subject and how to prepare a subject for disposal.

At 7:30 am this morning, I was awakened, fed, given a bottle of milk and then taken over to a diaper changer to be prepared and dressed for disposal. I already had a white onesie on all night but the nurse and the caregiver that took me to be prepared and dressed for disposal didn’t even bother to take it off when preparing me for disposal.

“Ok, baby, time to be prepared for disposal….what kind of diaper or diapers would like to wear to be disposed of in? We have cloth pre-folds or disposables? We COULD…..give you both, if you like….but the disposable diaper is already nice, thick, bulky and we are going to add 10 booster pads to it for you. If you want cloth pre-fold diapers, we will put them on you. The disposable diaper is going to get disposed of anyhow, even IF you weren’t getting disposed of today, it would still be disposed of in today’s trash.”  Said the caregiver to me. “I want both!” I (Being the disabled “subject being disposed of.) Said to the caregiver as she helped me up onto the changer and laid me down on my back. She unfastened the wet diaper’s tapes, pulled it down, pulled it out from underneath me, and then put it onto my chest. Then she opened up a special thick disposable diaper and then she put in 10 booster pads into it then before she slid the diaper under me, she put in 5 toddler sized cloth diapers layered on top of the 5 booster pads in the back before she slid the disposable diaper under me. Then she put the other five cloth diapers onto me, folding the bottom ends of the wings, into the center so they didn’t poke out of the leg elastics of the disposable. She did the same with the diapers in the back, folding the wings in the center of the disposable diaper, inward to make sure they didn’t poke out either. Then, she pulled the SUPER thick, bulky, disposable diaper over the cloth pre-folds, leaving 3 inches of the diapers, sticking out of the waistband elastics. Once the caregiver was done fastening each tape on each side of the disposable diaper, my care giver then snapped the snaps in the crotch of my onesie. Then, the nurse came over to look me over. She inspected the diapers that had just been put on me, very closely. Then, she took out a black permanent marker, and marked a check-mark on the front elastics of my disposable diaper, saying that my diaper was approved for disposal. Then the nurse called over to the housekeeping department to have me taken off of the changing table, over to the diaper disposal chute and then put into it, along with all of the diapers from all of the diaper pails as well. The housekeeping department was instructed to immediately take out ALL of the diapers and trash that came down the chute before 8:30 am.

“Ok baby boy, time to go down the diaper disposal chute now! I’m sorry that you couldn’t stay longer, but you were brought here late yesterday evening just to be used in a night training and then you were going to be disposed of today. At least you have a nice, soft, thick, bulky, comfy diaper, onesie and white soccer shorts on for disposal.” Stated the caregiver as the two ladies from housekeeping took me off the changer and brought me over to the chute. One of the ladies opened the chute then the other lady lifted my legs up, and started inserting me into the chute feet first. Then, with me still lying on the open chute door, the two house keeping ladies, started emptying all of the diaper pails from the fourth floor on top of me.

First, all of the three 32 gallon sized Rubbermaid trash cans full of loose, wet disposable diapers, then, all of the 4 pails worth of loose, formerly wet, now dry cloth pre-folds that WERE going to get washed but were ordered to be disposed of instead. Then, with what little space there was left around me, four pails worth of loose, clean, cloth pre-folds were crammed and stuffed in next to me on each side of me. Then, the door was closed and the diapers and I went sliding down the chute, like a metal slide. The diapers and I landed into a large janitorial cart at the end of the chute and then once the cart was full, the cart was immediately taken outside to where the 8-96 gallon totes were neatly lined up in a single-file row along the curb. Each tote was filled beyond capacity so that the lids could not close at all. Then they filled the 8-32 gallon aluminum cans with the cloth and disposable diapers. Then, the janitors laid me across two of the totes on top of half of a 32 gallon trash can’s worth of cloth and disposable diapers. Then they continued to toss more clean cloth pre-fold diapers on top of me, covering me slightly. They even put a bunch of the clean cloth pre-folds all over my head and tucked some around my face.

Well, there you go…you WANTED to be disposed of, and have some of your nice, clean diapers put around you, here…I have a whole laundry basket full to dump on you!” The Janitors then dumped two large round baskets full of my clean and formerly wet cloth pre-fold diapers on top of me.  Once the cart was empty, the other janitor came back out carrying a blanket made out of cloth-pre-fold diapers all sewn together. It had been the blanket that was used to cover me with when I was put down to sleep in the single bed sized crib, for the night.

Zoe comes to the end of the block, turns right and then veers to the curb.

Zoe gets out and walks to the pile. She begins dumping the overloaded totes.

When she gets to tote 3, she says:  “You again I see!”  Positioning me so she can drag me with tote 3 to her truck.

“Hi there miss...I WANTED to be disposed of! I couldn't WAIT to be disposed of!!”

I tell Zoe lying across tote 3. “Well you are about to get your wish” Zoe says as she dumps the tote into the truck. “Look at all of my nice, clean cloth diapers I'm laying on and are tucked around me miss…” I say to Zoe. “Well enjoy them while they last. There is a lot of pee in the truck and you are about to get soaked!” Zoe said to me as she finished dumping the tote I was lying across.

“I like how the compactor feels as it compacts me...and how it does my diapers....

Ok.....I won't mind now.....UH, UH!!!!!!”I say to Zoe Falling into the hopper.

As Zoe dumps me in, I fall on top of the diapers. They have mostly soaked up the puddle but I am lying on wet diapers. Zoe dumps tote 4 and 5 directly on top of me.

“Oh....I LOVE all of these nice, soft clean cloth diapers and all of these disposable diapers...I LOVE how the elastics fall on my face!!! Miss....OH.....yea.......” I say to Zoe.

Zoe empties the remaining totes covering the boy, (Me) then dump the cans. The hopper is filled to capacity. While lying there in the hopper on my back, I start to gyrate and then I flip over to my tummy. I start to rub the front of my thick diaper against the hopper floor and the diapers covering it. I reposition myself so that I am almost lying up against the blade so that it will come down just behind my diapered butt.

“One final present for you” Zoe says before walking into the cab. Zoe comes back with wet Huggies baby steps 9 that she had changed out of between stops. “From your favorite trash lady….” Zoe says, tossing it on my head. “Oh...thanks miss!” I tell Zoe. I wait for Zoe to start the compactor.

“Enjoy my pee!” Zoe says as she runs the packer.

The packer comes down and covers the load then begins crushing it.

The packer blade comes down, across the diapers that are all over my diapered butt. My legs stick out from under the blade as it sweeps the diapers and I into the truck.

I slide against the diapers that are sliding against the smooth floor of the hopper.

Zoe watches as the blade draws the garbage up into the truck a stream of pee flooding back down into the hopper. My diaper bunches up, with all of the diapers crushing against me....My legs still sticking out from under the blade with diapers all draped all over them. Seeing her truck "peeing" makes her have to go. She floods her Huggies Baby Steps For Her. The blade comes to a rest and Zoe gets back into the cab.

The next stop is a foster care home. They usually have four to six totes out in front of their facility. They also usually have four 32 gallon Rubbermaid trash cans and two permanently mounted cages out by the curb to hold a few of their “clients” that they are disposing of. The cage door is facing the street and is locked with three zip ties.

The totes have disposable training pants, disposable boxers, Pampers size 7, Huggies sizes 5 and six, as well as onesies, clean and dirty, cloth diapers, formerly wet and mostly clean but unfolded Toddler sized cloth diapers that have been sewn together to make one.

The last of the totes has modified adult medium and youth sized disposable diapers. Tranquility Slimlines, medium and large, Attends with Waistband that all have been taped together back to front with strong masking tape or duct tape. The janitor has come outside to the front and is standing out by the curb with the four “clients”. The clients are wearing nothing but modified youth sized modified disposable Attends with Waistband diapers, Tranquility Slimlines-Size Medium or Large, Two Pampers size 7s taped back to front, and two Cool Diaps with Zebra Stripes. Each Client is wearing a pair of modified diapers that go up to their necks, (Essentially an upper body diaper) with nothing else on underneath. Two of the Clients are little people who are disabled and the other two are 13 and 19 years old (Mentally and emotionally) the janitor has zip tied all of the client’s hands together so that each one can’t run easily.

Meanwhile, Back at Diaper City Diaper Landfill, All of the new subjects to the landfill were being checked in to the Diaper City Diaper Landfill Nursery where they will live until the owner of the landfill decides to either sell some of them or loan them out to labs and the subjects that were wearing cloth diapers only, were being taken down to the Cloth diaper section of the landfill where all of the cloth diapers were being sorted through, separated into piles that were either going to get flushed down toilets, sent to be washed, rinsed and then dried for reuse as diapers, Shredded into little pieces to get ready for blending with paper fluff fibers that were going to be made into Hybrid disposable and washable diapers, or sent to labs that were using the diapers as rags and then the diapers were put into slow churning machines that slowly composed 1000 cloth diapers at a time, plus any subjects that were wearing the diapers. Those subjects would be kept in the machines for two days straight before being taken out, given a bottle of milk with nutrients before being put back into the machines again for another two days at a time.

In the composing machines, water would be sprayed onto the diapers periodically to keep the diapers slightly wet…..the diapers would dry out completely between sprayings allowing the diapers not to build up any mold or mildew….besides, anti-mildew and anti-molding agents were added to the warm water when the diapers would be sprayed.

Those subjects who were wearing disposable diapers, even  the few subjects that had toddler sized cloth diapers stuffed into their disposable diapers, were being taken to an area of the landfill that had a large cinderblock building that was painted to look like a nursery on the outside, while inside, it was a large warehouse like building, one, VERY large room with other smaller rooms in the center that were used to change subjects, and even house a few of the subjects that were being taken back and forth to labs underground, in fact, right underneath the cinderblock building. About 6 stories under the building, to accommodate all of the loose, cloth diapers and four-story tall piles of disposable diapers that they had to use to experiment on and with.  Once any subject was loaned out more than four times, and came back, that subject was taken out of rotation for 6 months to a year and made to stay there at the landfill, left to run around in just their diapers until someone wants them for something they are doing or wants to buy them.  Most of the time, the subjects are allowed to run around inside the landfill, within the fenced off sections, and areas with Red Brick walls around the various areas where the cloth diapers and disposable diapers were and the compost areas. The walls were meant to keep the babies from being able to run back into the receiving areas, the transfer areas and the compost areas. It was also meant to keep the subjects from wandering around and into the diaper flushing stations without an escort or without being mistaken for flushing down one of the special toilets along with some of the cloth diapers and cloth items. Once in a while, a baby is mistaken for one that is ordered to be flushed down a toilet, but that happens very rarely now since the walls and fences went up around that area.

The subjects that had just been checked in and put on the inventory list, were now being divided up to see just how useful they could all be there at the landfill, and who needed a drier diaper put on them and who didn’t. Once the first five subjects were selected and separated from the large group, that were going to be put to use in the duties of the staff members that worked there, the five subjects, three boys and two girls were taken to various workstations and then were being prepared to be put into various machines, like a diaper recycling machine that recycled disposable diapers and pull-ups. The five subjects were led over to line up in front of a large conveyor belt that was taking bags of disposable diapers, loose disposable diapers, training pants and pull-ups into a large blue washing machine looking thing.

     

Each of the subjects was told to line up and wait there in line, until one of the men working at that station, was able to pick up each subject one at a time and put them onto the conveyor belt. Any of the subjects that were wearing cloth diapers inside of their disposable diapers, were left at the nursery due to the cloth diapers being in their diapers. These babies were singled out because of the disposable diapers they were wearing, that had nothing but disposable products inside of them. This included any booster pads too.

The two diaper landfill staff members stood next to the subjects to ensure that they all got put onto the conveyor belt.

“Ok, who is going first? Oh! Looks like YOU are little girl! Are you ready to get all nice and washed up? You’re going to get your diaper all nice and washed right off of you!” Said the man as he picked the girl up and put her feet first onto the conveyor belt.

Then the man waited until the girl went into the machine before loading some more bags and some more loose disposable diapers into the machine before turning to get the next subject. Look! It’s YOUR turn there little boy! Your Tranquility Diaper will be nice and thick for a little while until it gets all shredded up and broken up into little pieces. Ready for a good cleaning up? UP……..you go!” Said the man loading the boy feet first on his belly. Then the man loaded some more bags and loose disposable diapers onto the conveyor belt and then he turned to the next subject. OOH! Look! A girl wearing a pretty princess pull-up! Ready to get that diaper recycled?” Asked the man to the little girl. “NO! I don’t want to go! I’m NOT going in that thing!” Shouted the little bratty girl resisting.

“I’m used to this! You ARE going in there even if I have to hand-load you! Don’t worry though, you will come out the other side with nothing on and then be taken out and put back into another disposable diaper for a little bit before being put right back through the machine again at least……four more times today!” Said the man struggling to load the bratty girl onto the conveyor belt along with some more bags of disposable diapers and loose disposable diapers. The belt took the bratty girl up and into the machine before she could stand up. Then, the machine was full. The automatic door closed and then latched, muffling the girl’s cries.

The man turns to the two remaining boys who looked terrified.

“Well, aren’t YOU both lucky! You two will just have to wait for another hour to be cycled through for the first time.” Explained the man. “Take these two to the holding area and put them into the holding bins with metal tops that have the disposable diapers that are waiting to be recycled. Then you can go back to your workstation. I’ll have one of my staff bring the two subjects up to be cycled through.” Explained the man to the two females that had brought them there. The two then took the two boys to the back where there were four large metal bins full of loose disposable diapers and bags and bags of disposable diapers just waiting to be recycled. MOST of the bags of diapers were from the labs 6 stories below the nursery. These diapers had been used in experiments and were now ready for recycling. The diaper’s parts would be sent to a disposable diaper factory to be made into diapers again. The two women dressed in Blue and scrubs, put the two boys into one of the fuller bins, that was being unloaded into a trash cart, and then walked back to their workstation, leaving the two boys behind.

The two women then returned to the nursery to take a few more subjects to another station that was needing a couple of the subjects in the nursery. Part of their jobs were to not say where they were taking the babies until they actually arrived, to avoid any resistance from the subjects.  The next subjects to be selected were all wearing cloth diapers inside of their disposable diapers. They were also all boys too. Their diapers were REALLY, REALLY thick, bulky and were wet too. Just right for where they were headed. A few of the subjects that were in the nursery, were just now, getting their diapers changed, since there were very few clean disposable diapers there, the clean disposable diapers were used for and at the adoption arena and the sales arena. The subjects that stay at the diaper landfill can only get drier diapers than they had on.

Usually the used wipes, if any were used at all, are stuffed into the back or front of the drier diaper until that diaper gets changed again, sometime maybe in the next day to two maybe even more time.

The two ladies gathered up the six boys that had cloth pre-fold diapers on underneath their disposable diapers and then took them all over to an elevator at the farthest end of the warehouse nursery. Then they all got in and then the doors closed. The elevator took the six subjects and two female subject curriers down the six stories underground to the labs. Once the doors opened, the subjects were escorted over to a receiving desk where three female staff members were working. They were wearing printed scrubs and white lab coats except for the nurse who was wearing a vintage nurse’s hat and uniform.

The nurse was an “inspection nurse” who inspected the diapers and the subjects to see if they could even be used in the lab experiments and to determine where that subject would be most useful. They took all subjects in, but if a few of the subjects were rejected for one reason or another, those subjects would be put out with the rest of the diapers and rags that have been used in experiments to be either flushed, recycled or taken out of he labs and put into a disposable diaper pile or the cloth diaper composting machines.

“Hi there ladies, good to see you today. What do you have for us today?” Asked the intake receptionist to the two female subject curriers.  “I have all boys for you today, and they are wearing rather thick, bulky disposable diapers with toddler pre-fold cloth diapers inside of their disposable diapers.” Said the dark haired currier lady to the intake receptionist. “Well, bring them all across the counter here and we’ll get them all inspected and distributed. Did they come with any diapers at all or any special clothing or anything?” Asked the receptionist. “Nope. What they are wearing is what they have.” Said the other currier lady. The nurse and the receptionist took all six of the boys into the receiving area on the other side of the desk. Then the two currier ladies left and returned to the nursery to do their paperwork to show where all of the subjects were taken and left.

The inspection nurse inspected all of the boys and their diapers and two of the boys were rejected and then put down a chute where loads and loads of disposable diapers were being stuffed and shoved down. The two boys couldn’t be used in any of the up and coming experiments so they were rejected and “disposed of.” Once the diapers and Subjects were “disposed of” from the labs, everything is taken back up to the surface where the diapers and subjects are put into an above-ground pile and left there. If the subject wanders away from that pile, then that subject is taken to another part of the landfill and put into use at the demonstration Arena.
